Remarks
You must use an administrator account to change any properties in this class.
Gesture Filter does not filter gestures on accounts with administrator rights.
Changes to Gesture Filter do not affect any sessions that are currently signed in; you must sign out and sign back in.
You cannot block the top edge gesture or the bottom edge gesture, which bring up the app bar. You can use IsExtendedSwipeFiltered to block the long swipe from the top which closes Windows Store apps.
Example
The following Windows PowerShell script demonstrates how to use this class to modify the general settings for Gesture Filter. This example enables Gesture Filter and configures Gesture Filter to block left, right, top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right, and swipe to close gestures.
#---Define variables---
$COMPUTER = "localhost"
$NAMESPACE = "root\standardcimv2\embedded"
# Get the current configuration for Gesture Filter
$GestureFilterConfig = get-wmiobject –namespace $NAMESPACE –computer $COMPUTER –class GF_Config
# Enable Gesture Filter
$GestureFilterConfig.IsGestureFilterEnabled = $true
# Block each of the possible edge gestures that can be filtered
$GestureFilterConfig.IsLeftFiltered = $true
$GestureFilterConfig.IsRightFiltered = $true
$GestureFilterConfig.IsTopLeftFiltered = $true
$GestureFilterConfig.IsTopRightFiltered = $true
$GestureFilterConfig.IsBottomLeftFiltered = $true
$GestureFilterConfig.IsBottomRightFiltered = $true
$GestureFilterConfig.IsExtendedSwipeFiltered = $true
# Write the configuration changes back into the WMI class. Changes to the configuration for Gesture Filter will take effect the next time a session without administrator rights signs in.
$GestureFilterConfig.put()
